Jerry Springer and Jann Carl talk about his raucous talk show, the presidential campaign and his political aspirations.

ET's JANN CARL is with JERRY SPRINGER to celebrate the trash-talk show host's 64th birthday -- and bring him a present from ET and Capital One.
"I would like this to go to the Park School, which is a school in Evanston, IL, where their students are profoundly challenged, whether with a physical disability or a mental disability, usually a combination," Jerry tells Jann of the donation. "My daughter KATIE works there and we are very committed to that school. They do great work with the children."
While there, the two say their "I Dos" in a mock marriage conducted by REVEREND SHNORR, and then get serious with talk about the upcoming presidential election.
"As a Democrat, for once we have an embarrassment of riches," Jerry says. "We have two wonderful candidates, and I mean that. I have been a supporter of HILLARY CLINTON over the years, and I think she would make a wonderful, wonderful president. If it turns out that OBAMA is the candidate, God bless him, what an incredible talent he is, I would be very happy to support him."
The former "Dancing with the Stars" participant goes on to say that even though he doesn't support JOHN McCAIN on the issues, he can't say anything bad about him. He says he believes that for once when Americans go to the polls, they won't feel as if they are voting for the lesser of two evils.
As for his own political aspirations, he tells Jann, "For the next few years I am doing the show." Then he adds, "The honest answer is I don't know. I think about [running] all the time. I don't go a day without thinking about it or talking about it."
